Cats dry skin?

You're in a pickle!

I'd skip the tuna. Fish is just too iffy. I don't think I'd use veggie oil either but olive oil wouldn't be the worst.

What I would recommend instead is fish oil - but not cod liver oil.

I think you'd find that if you cut out the dry food entirely or at least increased the amount of canned food, the problem will clear up even without added oils. But if she still had issues, you could then add the fish oil to the canned food.

Poppy's dandruff cleared right up when I took her off the kitty crack. It reappears here and there during the winter when it's really dry, but then I just pull out the fish oil and the humidifier and it's all good. I actually give her the oil year round because it's very good for them.

Fish oil:

Only Natural Pet Icelandic Salmon Oil (pump) (http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Only-Natura...

Good for hairballs, good for skin and coat.

Selection: You typically won't use human fish oils - at least not the ones in liquid form - because they have added citrus flavors to many of them. You don't want to use cod liver oil - at least not on a very regular basis - because it has too much vitamin a. Plain old fish oil or salmon oil is best. I prefer it in liquid form as opposed to capsules for ease of dispensing. You want it to say that they've done everything possible to remove mercury. I prefer one with the fewest additives, especially not rosemary. Or propyllgallate.

For ease of use, I prefer to buy it in liquid form in a squeeze bottle or pump.

Dosage: I give a squirt every day. It's not measured but probably comes to somewhere around 1/4 tsp.

When I adopted my cat from the shelter his fur was really dry and flakey. I gave him a bath using Mane and Tail shampoo and that really made a diff. Also, once or twice a week open a can of tuna and just drain the water into a little bowl for her add a 1/4 tsp of sunflower or olive oil, she'll think shes in cat heaven.

You want your cat to have healthy skin, the largest organ on the body. And you want your cat to have a healthy coat, a byproduct of what your body does not need. Then you have to feed your cat a species appropriate diet of meat based wet food.

You have to treat from the inside out... not the outside in. You need to feed enough good food, that what comes out is good too. Iams is a pretty low quality food. So nothing good is coming from it after the cat attempts to get what it needs. You shoud feed a high quality canned or raw diet and stop all dry food as it dehydrates the cat and makes the skin condition very, very poor causing dandruff.

I know what cats are like and how infuriating they can be with their fussy habits. I would try some steamed fresh salmon as many cats are fond of it. It's not as oily as tinned tuna in oil but worth a go. I recommend stickig with the tuna in oil though. One of my cats had the exact opposite taste to tinned tuna as yours has. Keep trying the oily version and denying the brine and she'll be forced to come round. Then she'll be turning her nose up to the brine version. Typical cats!

Good luck.

He may be dehydrated, which can be dangerous. Adding a low-ash wet food to his diet may help. Your vet can hydrate him via IV; it only takes a few minutes. He may need a food that contains more oils or fatty acids, or may be suffering from some vitamin or mineral deficiency. Your vet can recommend a food or a supplement after examining him. He may have allergies, either to his food or to something in his environment, that is causing a skin condition that just looks like dry skin. Your vet can test for allergies and/or recommend some action. In your place, I would take him in very soon for a general check-up and explain the situation to the vet.

Tuna in brine is way too salty. Try her on Tuna in sunflower oil or in spring water. You can also trry adding vitamin e to her food(you can get it incapsule form) or cod liver oil. There is a preparation called Vitapet that I have found useful....

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/2dr9L

For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.
